Predictions for Sunday's Cowboys-Packers game from The Dallas Morning News' panel of experts:

Tim Cowlishaw

The first team ever to eliminate the Cowboys from the playoffs has -- roughly 50 years later -- become the team that always eliminates the Cowboys from the playoffs. Hard to seek revenge in the regular season and right now Green Bay offense riding higher and Packer defense not as inexperienced as Cowboys. Packers, 30-23

Brandon George

This will be a second consecutive week that a team has had 10 days off before playing the Cowboys. It didn't go well for the Cowboys last Sunday under that scenario in a home loss to the Rams. The Packers have a chance to get four starters back who missed their last game. This will be the fifth time these teams have met since January 2015. The Packers are 6-1 against the Cowboys since 2009. They've eliminated the Cowboys the last two times they've made the playoffs, including when Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers basically played on one leg to end Dallas' 2014 season. Rodgers prevails again, as Dak Prescott loses back-to-back regular-season games for the first time. Packers, 34-30.

Kate Hairopoulos

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is 5-2 as a starter against the Cowboys. In those contests, he's passed for 12 touchdowns and two interceptions and has a QB rating of 101.4. You can dig as deep as you want into the matchup, but what reason is there to think anything is going to change Sunday afternoon? Dallas linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) hasn't practiced this week. The defense does get help in other players returning from injury and suspension. But Rodgers will make enough plays to keep the Cowboys from getting the panacea they need before the bye week. Packers, 35-31.

Jerry Jones: I'd be surprised if Tyron Smith didn't play vs. Packers; Sean Lee a different story

Barry Horn

At 1-3 in this department so far this season, I'm going with Aaron Rodgers and whichever teammates are healthy enough to play with him. Given my aptitude at this, Cowboys fans should be ecstatic. Packers, 31-19.

Jon Machota

The Cowboys take a 28-24 lead late into the fourth quarter only to have Aaron Rodgers torture them one more time. Rodgers ends up completing 70 percent of his passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns. Former Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett hauls in Rodgers' game-winning touchdown pass in the final minute. Packers, 31-28.

David Moore

The Cowboys defense rose to the occasion against the New York Giants. They did so again in win over Arizona. Why not against Green Bay? We know why. Defensive shortcomings and offensive inconsistencies are a losing hand against the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It's going to be a long, introspective bye week for Dallas. Packers 34-27.

Kevin Sherrington

I have this recurring dream where Aaron Rodgers comes to JerryWorld, rips up the Cowboys' secondary and walks out a hero despite the locals' best efforts. Can't make it stop. Neither can the Cowboys.Packers, 31-27.

Bob Sturm

This is a matter of a team that has its pieces together, playing a game it needs to win at home against a team that is beat up, on the road, and might consider the following week in Minnesota more vital. I expect Green Bay will be careful rushing injured players back and the Cowboys get the offense back on the right path against a team that never slows down the rushing attack of Dallas. Cowboys, 31-28.
